No Reservations

The German original was a lovely movie. Sweet, but not sugary. I get the feeling that the remake ups the cliches and sweetness significantly, so I don’t have much hope for it. But it’s the kind of film that is unlikely to be truly painful to watch.

I Know Who Killed Me

The Players: Lyndsay Lohan, playing a stripper.
The Story: Lyndsay Lohan plays a stripper. There is also some sort of plot involving murders which doesn’t really matter because everybody went to the movie in order to see Lyndasy Lohan, playing a stripper.
Rotten Tomatoes: No reviews right now.

This always had train wreck written all over it. But the recent developments make this a painful train wreck. Instead of, you know, a fun and happy train wreck.

It’s Caddyshack for the new generation!

I really should write a proper review of this. It’s an amazing film, one of the best I have seen this year. But it does have some very clear and glaring flaws. Still worth a trip to the theater, and it is the kind of movie that is much better when experienced in a big screen.

Rescue Dawn (Expanding)

The Players: Director Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man, ), actor Christian Bale (Batman baby!)
The Story: An U.S. pilot struggles to survive after being shot down in the middle of a mission over Laos during the Vietnam war. Based on a true story and in the documentary Little Dieter Needs to Fly, which was directed by Herzog himself.
Rotten Tomatoes: 89%

It’s Werner Herzog, so it should at the very least be interesting. The reviews point to it being perhaps even more than that.
